What Country Is

[Verse 1]
           Em                   Bm
There's a house fly swimmin' in my sweet tea
      C                               D
Hey, darlin' pass another Kerr jar to me
        Em                           Bm
Butter drippin' off a biscuit, baby, better take a bite
C                                   D
Cantaloupe thumps like it's finally ripe
     Em                 Bm
Box fan on a lawn chair suckin' in swamp air
 C                                 D
Two hundred mile marker signs from nowhere
Em           Bm      C    D
That's what country is

[Chorus]
           G              D/F#
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
        Em                C
It's a hideaway bed in an old horse stall
     G                  D/F#                    C   Bm  Em  D
Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss
           G                           D/F#
It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton
        Em                         D
It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten
      Am                         G       C
It's homemade peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
D
That's what country is

[Verse 2]
         Em                           Bm
When the sun starts slippin' from the Delta sky
        C                               D
And the last scarecrow tucks in for the night
       Em                           Bm
Make a fire, throw a blanket on the sandy bank
          C                                   D
'Bout an hour till we feel the first catfish yank
Em                 Bm
Barefoot cane pole wavin' at the riverboats
C                                          D
  And when they're gone, take a dip in the moon glow
Em          Bm         C   D
That's what country is

[Chorus]
            G             D/F#
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
       Em                 C
It's a hideaway bed in an old horse stall
     G                  D/F#                    C   Bm  Em  D
Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss
            G                          D/F#
It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton
        Em                        D
It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten
     Am                          G       C
It's homemade peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
D

[Chorus]
            G                            D/F#
It ain't a jacked up truck that's never seen a pasture
     Em                        D
It's cars pullin' over for an old camp tractor
     Am                            G       C      D
It's home made peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
        Am                                 G      C
No, it can't be bought, it's something you're born with
 D
